Cheeses for Feria Nacional del Queso y el Vino

The Feria Nacional del Queso y el Vino has been held in Tequisquiapan, in the state of Querétaro, since the 1970s. It runs over several weekends, usually in May, with tastings of Mexican cheeses and wines from the vineyards of the Querétaro highlands, as well as music and craft stalls. The cheeses show how varied Mexican dairy is: stringy Oaxaca cheese wound into balls, fresh panela, crumbly aged Cotija from Michoacán, and the fresh white cheeses that are crumbled over antojitos all over the country. Local dairies in the region also make European-style cheeses. Dates are set each year.
